Grandma Marj had a unique appreciation for birds that became a natural part of my heart as well.Growing up next door, affection for birds seemed like a normal part of life.It never occurred to me until I went to elementary school that it was odd to call a bird by its proper name.After all, a black capped chick-a-dee was not a nuthatch, nor was a slate junco an evening grosbeak.Furthermore, to call it simply a bird was to disregard its unique identity.A bird has a name after all.The name was an intricate aspect of the masterpiece that each bird was.

About Me

Opening the door to sharing who I am as a wife & mom, writer, photographer & artist. 4 short statements describe my story to tell: Believe Truth. Be Who You Are. Be Real. Embrace Your Place. I am a believer in and teacher of the beautiful difference made by Jesus Christ. Wife of a handsome, good-hearted man who is a hard working cattle rancher. Mom of 10 yr old son, and 2 daughters (8 and 3). One of my "life verses" is John 4:42, "They said to the woman, 'Now we no longer believe, just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world." ***
